After which observation, Mistress O'Calligan took up a corner of her apron, and made a feint to cry; but not being encouraged by any consternation, agitation, or objection of any description on the part of her companion, changed her mind, and smiled. Mr.
The noble saint and his wife came on thus far above the roaring crowd, and as they draw nearer, lo! the saint and Sheeley are revealed. The saint is personated by the heroic Mr. Jinks his wife is represented by Mistress O'Calligan! This is the grand revenge of Mr.
O'Brallaghan's ambition was to succeed the lamented. He had long made unsuccessful court to the lady in vain. He suspected, not without justice, that the graceful and military Mr. Jinks had made an impression on the lady's heart, and hated Mr. Jinks accordingly.

If ever proceeding was calm, deliberate, and prompted by revengeful and diabolical intentions, the proceeding of Mr.
Miss Lavinia and the poet of chancery Mistress O'Calligan and the knight of the shears Miss Sallianna and the unfortunate Jinks all these pairs, ere long, were united. Mr. Jinks perfected his revenge upon Miss Sallianna, as he thought, by marrying her but, we believe, the result of his revenge was misery. Mistress O'Calligan accepted the hand of Mr.
Mistress O'Calligan thought that Mr. Jinks was very wrong to be talking in such a meaning way to her and the lamented O'Calligan not dead two years.
